Anything but black !
Laverdaroo:
Phew, dodged one there! ;D
Quite like the one with the pedals though, that's ace!
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Sorry Roo I ain't fitting pedals on a 500.
Might need stabilisers in a few years time.
Matt_Harrington:
Ted, this 500 recently sold at auction near me.

Whilst the paintwork was very badly done I actually quite liked the colour - it was metallic. (Standard colour??)
I was actually tempted to buy the bike but favoured retaining my wedding tackle! :o

I would go for a dark chocolate colour. Not black...the colour of a nice plain choccy bar. Would give a bit of contrast without being black.

I feel similar about it as this, "bitter chocolate" I'd normally think of it when on a car.

As here when the light level takes it from virtually black through to bronze almost at the higher most points of light strike. Would go well with gold rims and original tank colours if that's the way you're going Ted.

That was a great buy for someone - even the chromework looks good.
